Biography
I am an eco-feminist priestess of the Goddess & a Witch. My home is in the beautiful countryside of West Wales. I'm the author of, The Gift of Weaving & am in the process of writing my second novel, Finding Blodeuwedd.
My spiritual path is Goddess~centric & largely solitary. For the last fourteen years, through several incarnations, I have acted as Guardian priestess of the Dragonfly coven. These days I tend toward the 'if they want me, they'll find me' school of teaching. In fact, I don't define as a teacher per se; I prefer to be identified as someone who opens doors. If I have a role, it is to share & pass on the knoweledge that has come my way over the course of my life, from a great many wise & gifted women.
The core of my spiritual belief lies in my sense of the Goddess movement as a system rooted in rebellion; in our ancesters' awareness of the Divine Life-force. My practice is essentially Earth~aware & rooted in my belief that everywhere is sacred space & that most people are good.
Although I'm sometimes called a teacher, I claim nothing more than experience. In my view, it is experience that lies at the core of the work of any priestess worthy of the title. It is experiential magic that will confirm us as practitioners of what I like to call the 'oldest profession.' It is only ethical & compassionate living that will enable us to be effective in our communities. The responsibility of anyone who claims an eco-spiritual life is to encourage people toward more sustainable ways of living. I consider Witchcraft to be the spiritual wing of the ecology movement, putting ecological principles into action.
Although I have now reverted to a solitary path, I retain my love of ceremonial magic. It plays an important part in most spiritual practice; gives us a visible, ordered focus for our sense of the sacred as we celebrate the turning of the year. However, for me ritual can never become a substitute for an ethical life-style. The truely sacred lies in the way we conduct ourselves through our actions & personal politics. Unless we are authentic, we are nothing.
Blessed Be

No one notices you. You achieve a wonderful freedom.'
